Tip: Piercing the stone-filled sheet asphalt for pipelines or outflows is best done by casting a flange directly into the asphalt. To connect the construction to other architectural structures, countersink a seam and seal it with asphalt. Smaller architectural elements such as stairs can be directly mounted on the liner.

In situ concrete The cast-in-place method requires the water installation to be built on a stable foundation, using high-quality, watertight cement, preferably reinforced. With the correct formwork, all slope angles and exact forms can be cast on site. > Fig. 40 Producing these components directly where they will be needed calls for a greater amount of tolerance in the original design due to the building site’s unique work conditions, the specific construction of the formwork, and the shrinkage of the cement. Visible areas can be fabricated as smooth, exposed concrete, or processed as masonry, painted, or tiled.

Concrete is nontoxic and therefore safe for plants and animals. In the early stages, water runoff can alter the water’s pH, but changing the water can rectify this problem.

This method is used mostly for larger architectural, geometric projects such as swimming pools, water canals or sinks, and if the installation will be used heavily. > Fig. 45
